Review: Very compact synth with a very large sound and capability - This is a remarkable little device. Fully battery powered with an internal rechargeable battery that holds a decent charge, and recharged / powered via USB C. Output audio is clean and can be huge if sent through a large system. Built in FX are convenient and sound great. Despite the size there's a two octave keyboard and sequencer, along with a useful relevant layout of knobs. Sound quality is quite good too, advancements in DSP are apparent when a little box like this sounds deceptively analog. I got it with the inclination of it being more of a toy and novelty, but it has the potential to be put to serious use for music making and performance. At the moment I haven't dived all the way to the deep end with it, but I have spent some hours playing music with this. The built in patches are quite good and making adjustments follows the usual synth logic. One downside is that the small form factor cuts down on the amount of buttons or a well developed screen. This gives it a bit more of a learning curve to figure out, as you will have to dive into using it via a manual even if you have extensive synth knowledge. Takes time to get used to the sub menus and the full capability if you want to go beyond just making sound happen. And the only thing I can speak of to detract from this synth is that it didn't come with a 1/8" to midi adaptor cable, just arrived with a USB C cable. Overall I highly recommend this to someone who wants to make music on the go as the portability is amazing. You can put on a sequencer show on the street with this thing! But it can also be a serious tool in the studio as the sound quality is proper.
Review: Bite sized monster! - It is by far the best hardware synth I have had. It is totally easy to invent new sounds and great for sound designers and composers.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What kind of audio output jacks are on the back panel?**
A: There are no audio outputs on the back, just a 3.5mm audio out on the top right of the front panel. I use a 1/8 to 1/4 cable into my mixer without any problems, though I need to push the gain a bit as it comes in a bit softer than my other gear.

**Q: 4 FON. I have a microfreak and a miniKorg. Owned the original SH-101 bk in the day. Wasn't impressed. Would this really be a useful addition? Thanks.**
A: The original SH sound is there in all it's glory, but S1 adds a ton of excellent features, like polyphony! It has a lovely musical filter, a really useful/fun sequencer and amazing reverb and delay. The D motion chip is a nice extra and they used the ACB tech to make this sound analog without the price. Battery powered, midi and audio over USB C. What else are you looking for? It's stupid cheap for what you get and it sounds huge. The only tiny drawback is the red display from the 80s they decided to go with, and some functions are under one layer of menus. Not a huge deal at all and I'll never part with my S1. It's the best of the little aria boxes by a mile.
